派崔克內斯榮獲卡內基獎章的傑作，勢必吸引一群眼光獨到的跨界讀者。
康納後院的怪物並非他預想中的那個——自從母親開始接受治療以來，他每晚都會做噩夢，夢中出現的怪物。這個怪物古老而狂野，它想要從康納那裡得到什麼。一些可怕而危險的東西。它想要真相。本書取材自屢獲殊榮的作家西沃恩·道德的遺作——她因癌症英年早逝，未能親自完成這部作品——帕特里克·內斯以這部小說為藍本，創作了一部令人難以忘懷、又略帶黑色幽默的作品，講述了惡作劇、失去以及真實與虛構的怪物。

Patrick Ness’s Carnegie Medal–winning masterwork is poised to attract a discerning crossover audience.
The monster in Conor’s backyard is not the one he’s been expecting — the one from the nightmare he’s had every night since his mother started her treatments. This monster is ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd — whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself — Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
